when is the next nintendo direct

The next Nintendo Direct is widely expected to air Thursday, February 5, 2026 , during the first week of February.

What’s expected

• Multiple insiders and outlets (including NateTheHate, IGN‑style coverage, and Gamespot‑style reporting) point to a Partner Direct‑style showcase around February 3–5 , with February 5 as the most‑cited date.

• The focus is expected to be on third‑party and partner titles for Switch 2 , rather than a big first‑party Nintendo‑led Direct.

How to watch

• Nintendo usually streams Directs on its official YouTube channels (Nintendo of America / Nintendo Europe) and via the Nintendo Direct section on Nintendo’s website.

• A short trailer or tweet from @NintendoAmerica or regional accounts typically drops a day or two before , so checking those accounts on February 3–4 is a good way to confirm the exact time and format.
